I try to buy everything off local folks. When I can't, I go to Cabelas on line.
Shop locally support your neighbor.

I shop locally if, with shipping, the cost is within about $5-$10. Other wise I shop around on the net.
I shop Cabelas only if I feel rich and want to spend 5-30% more on optics but otherwise I buy from Bear Basin, and Midway, and Basspro shops...
Heres a little example with Cabelas
Weaver Grand Slam 3x10x40 (awsome scope, equal to a Vari X III)
Cabelas------$324 $85 more???
Midway-------$250
Bear Basin---$239
Basspro doesn't carry Weaver, but their other lines such as Leupold, are about $20 than Cabelas for everything... I only buy from cabelas when I can't find it any place else.
The onle deal on optics that I have EVER seen at cabelas is the Ziess Clasic binos... they were about $100 cheaper than any competitors!

SWFA (riflescopes.com) is good if you already know what you want. The specials at Midway, Mid-South, Natchez, Graf & Sons, etc. can all be great. I got a $400+ Leupold silver VX-III for $200+ on sale at Midway.
Cabela's has gotten very competitive on their prices for reloading components - they used to be higher than the others.

I generally get all my guns and scopes from one store in Idaho Falls. If I find something I want at a yard sale, then I supoort the neighbor and buy it locally. I have bought a couple of rifles, a revolver, a compound bow, a crossbow, and a new Leupold scope locally and saved some serious cash, resold some of it and made some pretty good cash.
